Mexico Memorial Airport (ICAO: KMYJ, FAA LID: MYJ) is a city-owned public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) east of the central business district of Mexico, a city in Audrain County, Missouri, United States.[1] This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned MYJ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned MYJ to Matsuyama Airport in Japan[4]).
